Objectives
Following the session, the clinician will have information and resources to gain a basic knowledge of, and skills for planning/treatment and referral, post assessment. This will be centred on the new National Wound Care Strategy Programme (2024) particularly in relation to discovery, assessment, outcomes and its positive impact in Primary Care.
Please Note: The session will not deem the learner 'competent'. The ‘journey to competency’ will be explored using national capability framework resource and subsequent eLearning modules, as will contacting the Tissue Viability team to access any local policies, documents and tools to support their learning that may be available. Please see this short video 'A guide to becoming competent'..
